Spread the creamy spinach mixture on top of the chicken and top with sliced sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and cover with foil. 

Bake for about 20-25 minutes covered, and 15 minutes uncovered or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is nice and golden. Serve immediately with your choice of sides and enjoy!
